Rashford is a doubt for Sunday! He went down injured v Barcelona but played on until the 88th minute.

At very least it sounds like he could play but not be 100% which I'd take. Get Joelinton to get a firm tackle in early doors.

Fulham losing at half-time.

1 1 . 2 games in hand over them, more worried about Brighton to be honest, if we have to look down!

Ultimately I’d take our team over both of those any day. And after this weekend we have nothing but the remaining league games to focus on.

City tearing Bournemouth to shreds without even getting out of 1st gear.

How on earth have we lost against this Liverpool side twice this season?

How on earth have we lost against this Liverpool side twice this season?

Pretty much through bad luck on both occasions rather than them doing anything to deserve the wins! That’s the way it goes sometimes I guess!

Palace are a good example of not having to be very good to be a PL side. Definitely got some good players (would 100% take Olise and Guehe) but Vieira has a win rate of less than 30% yet they’ve never really been in danger of relegation despite that.

No Bruno either time, plus 15 minuted of madness.

[bodacious benny]

Plus debatable whether Isak was offside for his second goal at Anfield.

[bodacious benny]

0-0, they’re 5 points behind us so will take that.

How much have Chelsea spent just to be this s***?
